Summary
Set after season 1, episode 7 of House of the dragon. Diverges from canon afterwards.
In an attempt to keep his family from drifting apart, Viserys makes an unusual decision: Daeron is to leave Oldtown to ward at Dragonstone, where he will be placed under Rhaenyra's care. The King hopes that having his youngest son raised alongside his half-sister and her children will strengthen the fragile ties between his family, and perhaps prevent an upcoming Dance of Dragons.
Gwayne Hightower is commanded to escort Daeron to Dragonstone as his sworn shield.
Gwayne and Daeron are forced into circumstances neither of them anticipated, finding themselves in enemy territory, surrounded by the very people their family may be at war with in the days to come.
As tensions between the Greens and the Blacks escalate, Daeron must navigate a household that deems him untrustworthy, while Gwayne struggles to protect him without provoking the Blacks. They discover in time that being surrounded by enemies may be the least of their troubles.

Ser Criston Cole does not expect to wake, yet here he is, lying in a clearing spared from battle. It does not take long before he encounters Prince Daeron Targaryen, the lad Ser Gwayne spoke of so fondly.
A certain number of plans are made.

Summary
When Gwayne looked up, he found Ormund and Daeron side by side, heads bowed together in prayer at the altar of the Warrior. They could have been father and son, brown-haired, pale-eyed, with their matching expressions of piety. What does that make me? Gwayne shut his eyes and said a prayer for Daeron. After a moment, he prayed for himself too.
Gwayne, Ormund, and Daeron. Sixteen years in the Hightower of Oldtown.
